Abstract
A dual reflector lighting system having an adjusting assembly for independently adjusting an inner reflector and an outer reflector relative to a gaseous discharge lamp. The lighting system includes a housing having a ballast assembly mounted therein. An elongated tubular adjusting member has one end thereof connected to the bottom of the housing. A lamp socket for receiving a gaseous discharge lamp is mounted to the other end of the adjusting member. The lamp socket is electrically connected to the ballast assembly. The system includes both an outer reflector and an inner reflector mounted coaxially about the gaseous discharge lamp. The outer reflector is mounted to the tubular adjusting member for movement relative thereto to adjust the outer reflector relative to the gaseous discharge lamp. The inner reflector is connected to the adjusting member for adjusting the inner reflector relative to the gaseous discharge lamp. The invention also covers a dual reflector assembly including an outer reflector, an inner reflector and an adjusting assembly which is adapted to be mounted to the housing of a gaseous discharge lamp fixture. The invention also covers a retrofit kit which includes an outer reflector, an inner reflector, a lamp socket and a adjusting assembly for adjusting the inner reflector and outer reflector relative to the lamp of a fixture. The retrofit kit may also include a reduced wattage ballast and a gaseous discharge lamp.
